HMMM??? Maybe Kerry's going to be the first in the Biden Cabinet to resign.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The plane registered to U.S. Special Envoy on Climate John Kerry's family emitted as much carbon as around 36 typical passenger cars would in a year.

Flight logs obtained via aviation data firm FlightAware show that the Kerry family's Gulfstream GIV-SP spent around 22 hours and 22 minutes in the air over the past year.

Using Paramount Business Jets emissions calculator, Fox News found that Kerry's planed accumulated an estimated 166 metric tons of carbon between trips dating from Feb. 9, 2020, to Jan. 10, 2021.

They’re all frauds and hypocrites.
They use cops/security, gated mansions, gas guzzling suvs, and on and on.
Defund the po-po, diversity but they live in upscale hoods, go green but they all have private plains or limousine-esque suv’s. All on our dime.

So Kerry ought to start talking about the need for battery powered jets.

I'm against all private jets. John Kerry and Kenneth Copeland. There are very few situations where flying commercial shouldn't be the default.

I guess the founding fathers didn’t have the foresight to see that politicians would become celebrities, while being, politicians. It’s pathetic.
The fact that when I call Andy Cuomo, I can never get him on the phone or a return call from HIM. It’s total bs. He works for ME.

Rules for thee, but not for me. Kind of like, walls for me, but not for thee. These people are total frauds. Anybody who thinks these tools have any interest in improving their lives and well being, as well as that of future generations, is laughably naive.

I actually agree with you. I lose respect for anyone who flies around on a private jet while pushing environmental consciousness (a cause I strongly support). I lost a lot of respect for Al Gore for the same reason.

If you are going to have someone preach to us all, that guy should at least walk the walk.

It’s just like OJ Simpson traveling around the country telling everyone not to murder people.
